I wish you two lifetimes

Gu Yanran's reaction was as he expected, Meng Siqian picked up the box at his feet and put it back on the table.

A stream of blood surged into her brain, and then spread to her whole body at the fastest speed, gradually becoming cold...

Her brother?How can this be?She is a child of the Gu family, her father is Gu Fangyan, how could it be Meng Siqian's father.

"Don't talk about you, I'm also very puzzled. You left a few strands of hair at my house, and I took them for a drug test, and a DNA test by the way, and that's when I found out."

Gu Yanran kept her head down and took deep breaths. She was in a mess now and didn't know how to respond to him.

Why is she not a child of the Gu family? It's impossible. Her father hasn't shown anything in these years. Although he can't say that he treats her very well, he doesn't have the rejection and disgust that he should have.

But when she thought of all the things between her and the Gu family, her heart became colder and colder. Everything happened for a reason.

Ten years ago, the Gu family threw her to the Xu family, and they have ignored her ever since. If it was what Mr. Wen and Zhu Xin's mother and daughter did, she would not be surprised at all, but her father didn't react at all?
It takes a long time to see his biological daughter, doesn't he miss it?

Every time she looks back at home, she always feels that the three of them are like a family of three, and she looks like an outsider.

It turned out that it wasn't her own heart that caused the trouble, she was really just an outsider through and through.

Thinking about it this way, she didn't want to lie to herself anymore. Father Gu should know about it.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanran couldn't help admiring him. How did he manage to treat her with a normal heart all these years?He has raised a person who has no blood relationship with him for ten years.

Her face was pale, and her whole body felt a little weak. She leaned half against the wall and remained silent for a while before raising her head and asking Meng Siqian, "Who knows about this?"

"Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know and I know."

Does that mean only the two of them know? "Aren't you going to tell the others?"

"That's up to you if you want to tell others." Meng Siqian walked upstairs, and came down again within a minute. He stretched out his hand to Gu Yanran, with a key lying in his palm.

The copper color on the key has darkened a lot, but it can be seen that it has been well preserved. "This is given to me by my father before he died. Take it, open it and have a look."

Gu Yanran took it tremblingly. The amount of information that happened today was too much for her to accept.

"Don't look at me, I only know so much." Meng Siqian glanced at the box on the table, "I've been looking for it all these years, and I just found out that it's in your hands recently. After so many years, I think, the relationship between them The secret should only be known by this box."

Gu Yanran inserted the key into the lock, and turned it slightly to the right. Even after so many years, there seemed to be no sign of rust inside, so she turned it and turned it away.

With a "click", the box opened in response.

Meng Siqian's eyes darkened, and he also walked over, watching Gu Yanran open the lid.

Gu Yanran had a sore nose, these are her mother's things, and she only kept these, which should be very important to her.

The first thing that catches the eye is a photo, no, to be precise, it should be a photo.

A woman looked at the camera with a smile on her face, her eyes were full of spring breeze, but Gu Yanran's eyes were moist.

She hadn't seen her mother for a long time, and she almost forgot what she looked like. This was also the first time she saw a photo of her mother before she got married.

There were obvious tear marks on the left side of the photo, and she knew that the left side of the photo should be the other half of the photo in Meng Siqian's house.

"Your mother is a very good person." The gentle voice came to her ears, with some imperceptible sadness.

her mother?Gu Yanran quickly touched the tears in the corner of his eyes, and looked at him, aren't they brother and sister?Why did he say that?
"She is your mother, not my mother."

Gu Yanran's acceptance of information at this time is particularly poor. She pondered this sentence several times before she understood the meaning.

Are they two half-brothers?

But thinking about it, Meng Siqian should be much older than her. If he was also born by her mother, then it is impossible for the Wen family and the Xu family not to know.

"My mother is my father's wife. They were married into a family. Later, she fell ill and died when I was three years old. When I was four years old, my father met your mother, and I have met her several times."

"Did your father know that my mother was pregnant?"

Meng Siqian shook his head, "I don't know, he didn't know until he died, otherwise he would have taken you back to Wen's house with his personality."

The Wen family... Then she and Wen Yanzhi... Although they are not related by blood, there is always a relationship.

Seeing her frown deepened, Meng Siqian probably guessed what she was thinking, "In this way, you and Wen Yanzhi have more relationships, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. The grievances between the Wen family and the Xu family are too serious. Shen, if the two of you want to get together, it will be really difficult, and now there may be a turning point."

Gu Yanran didn't answer, she took out the photo, and as she expected, there was a thick stack of letters underneath.

Gu Yanran and Meng Siqian looked at each other, Meng Siqian turned his eyes away, "Look at yourself, you can watch it if you want, I won't watch it."

"No." Gu Yanran stopped him immediately, "Since it's related to your father, you have the right to read these letters, and my mother will understand."

"Gu Yanran, although you may not be able to accept it now, he is also your father." The word "your father" in her mouth still made him a little uncomfortable.

He didn't have much feeling about having an extra sister, he didn't rule it out, but it couldn't be said to be close, but this couldn't obliterate the fact that they were born of the same father.

"I know." She lowered her head, "I still have to take this matter slowly."

The father she had called for 20 years was not her father. She felt a little uncomfortable, but also relieved.

There are ten envelopes in the brocade box, but each letter is a thick stack. After opening, each envelope contains twelve sheets of paper, and the time is recorded underneath.

For ten years, one piece a month, one piece a year, all here.

It took more than two hours to read the 120 letters.

When the last piece of paper was placed on the table, Gu Yanran was already in tears, her hands were trembling, and she tried her best to suppress her emotions.

It turned out that her mother had experienced so much, but these... she never knew.

She finally knew why her mother's health was getting worse and worse, and finally knew what she had experienced in the cannibalistic Gu family. The things the Gu family did to her were not one-tenth of what they did to her mother.

"Then... what about him?" Gu Yanran looked at Meng Siqian, and began to accept the reality in his heart, but he still couldn't call out that name, "Why did he..."

"Your mother passed away ten years ago. My father was devastated when he found out about it. He also had a bad time in the ten years when he parted from your mother. He was in a daze."

"The moment he heard the bad news, the last straw in his heart crushed him to death."

"He died in a car accident on the way to your mother's mausoleum. Until now, we don't know whether he was in a trance because of the accident, or whether he committed suicide because he didn't want to live alone."

"The Wen family has always believed that my father's death was caused by your mother, so Mr. Wen put all the blame on the Xu family. This angered Mr. Xu, that is, your grandfather."

"Your grandfather has the same temper as him. He is a master who is not easily subdued. At that time, your mother passed away. He was still in great grief. He was given such a hat by the Wen family. How could he not be angry?"

"The two families have come and gone so much grudges."

Meng Siqian chuckled lightly when he said this, "But he didn't think about it. If he could have agreed to marry your mother and my father at that time, how could there be so many things later."

"The previous cause will definitely cause the later result, but it is too late for him to regret it. How could he admit that he was wrong? He has been attributing my father's death to the Xu family all these years. He is just using it to comfort Just myself."

Gu Yanran was a little puzzled, "But why doesn't Mr. Wen let the two of them get married?"

Meng Siqian was silent, he pursed his lips, and shook his head, "I don't know, but I know, it must have happened in their generation. Heh, their grievances cost my father's life."

Gu Yanran was depressed and didn't know what to say for a while.

Xu Jiayu's matter hadn't been resolved, but a more difficult matter came up, and she was a little upset.

The phone rang, breaking the silence between the two of them for a while. Gu Yanran glanced at it. It was Wen Yanzhi. She glanced at Meng Siqian, hesitated for a while, and then picked it up.

"Is it over? Give me the address, and I'll come pick you up."

"I--"

After she said a word, her cell phone was snatched by the person next to her, "Give me your location, and I'll send you back."

The other side was quiet for five seconds before responding with the word "OK".

Meng Siqian hung up the phone, looked at the time, raised his head and asked Gu Yanran, "Are you going to tell Wen Yanzhi about this?"

Gu Yanran shook her head, "Don't tell me for now, I'll talk about it after I figure things out a bit." She herself is still in a daze now.

"Well, I'll take you there." Meng Siqian got up and picked up the car keys, "He said he would send you to the coffee shop downstairs of his house, it seems there is something else."

Gu Yanran suddenly remembered that Lao Feng said that he had something to ask Wen Yanzhi at night, and Wen Yanzhi also agreed to show her the portrait.

"Yes, then I will trouble you." Gu Yanran immediately got up and followed behind him.

Meng Siqian glanced at her, "Don't be so polite to me, after all...I'm your brother too."

"En." After this word alone, she didn't say anything more.

This incident was a bit sudden, and she inexplicably had an extra family member, which made it difficult for her to accept it.

"are you better?"

The topic changed suddenly, which made Gu Yanran a little unresponsive. She was stunned for a while before remembering what happened between her and him, "It's over, thank you."

This time it was Meng Siqian's turn to be surprised. He was just asking casually. The amount of poison she was infected with was not small, but he didn't expect to quit in such a short time?

"It's really healed." Gu Yanran saw his doubts, and explained: "Later, it was healed not long after I left from you."

She suddenly thought of something, "Meng Siqian, did you also live in that old house of the Wen family when you were young?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" He wasn't surprised that Gu Yanran would know about Wen's old house, it must have been Wen Yanzhi who told her.

"Do you remember the Liuchao pine planted in it?"
